I have a few text files and I’d like to count how many times

  • 0

I have a few text files and I’d like to count how many times a letter appears in each?

Specifically, I’d like to use the UNIX shell to do this, in the form of: cat file | …. do stuff…

Is there a way I can get the wc command to do this?
